Are you trying to manage diabetes with your diet? What if I told you that you could ditch dieting and lower your blood sugar at the same time? 

That sounds crazy, right?  You are probably thinking "yeah -  I could do that but my numbers would be crazy and my medical team would NOT be happy with me!.”

Well, what if I told you that you could eat what you want when you want…including sugar... WHILE reducing your A1C and enjoying the freedom to enjoy your life again!

On the show today, I’m talking with a fellow intuitive eating dietitian, Amanda Ciprich about how to manage your diabetes intuitively!

Amanda Ciprich is a registered dietitian who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost 10 years ago. During the early stages of her diagnosis, she felt herself going down a path of restriction and obsession, which left her feeling weighed down and consumed by her diabetes diagnosis. She craved the freedom to enjoy her life without diabetes getting in the way and knew there had to be a way to find her love for food once again.

Amanda ultimately decided to pursue a career as a registered dietitian to teach other people living with diabetes and their families how to manage their blood sugars without giving up the foods they love. Amanda's approach gives you tools that incorporate prioritizing yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically so you can navigate any scenario that life with diabetes throws at you.

Do you have a good relationship with food?

A good relationship with food involves that no foods are off-limits, and you don't feel guilt or shame when eating those foods that are typically labeled “good” or “bad.” Our relationship with food, whether good, bad, or in between, starts when we are young and what we experience in our childhood.

In this episode, we are chatting with Bonnie Roney aka The Diet Culture Rebel Coach. Bonnie shares her story dealing with diet culture and disordered eating, growing up vegetarian, becoming a dietitian with a focus on low carb weight loss, and how and why she switched to intuitive eating.

Bonnie Roney is a Registered Dietitian & Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor who lives in sunny Tampa, Florida. Bonnie helps others heal from disordered eating using an Intuitive Eating approach so they can enjoy food again & eat without guilt.

Our bodies are constantly changing. How we feel about our bodies has changed over the years as well. A lot of us have a complicated relationship with our body right? A lot of our feelings about our bodies are probably unconscious, you may not even be aware of them. We start to embrace diet culture, become fatphobic or have low body confidence.

You may not realize it but Fatphobia is not just about challenging how society views fat people based upon their physical size and shape. It also looks at our fear of becoming fat and disliking ourselves in our own bodies.

In this episode, we are chatting with Victoria Welsby about unlearning fatphobia and how it is impacting someone's self-esteem and authenticity. Victoria Welsby (they/them) is a world-leading expert on dismantling fatphobia and diet-culture, TEDx speaker, and best-selling author. They went from being homeless, abused with self-esteem that was achingly low into the courageous fat activist and change maker they are today. Victoria helps people fall in love with themselves and is dedicated to shifting the way society views fat bodies.

How often do you hear the phrase "food is fuel" and "nourish your body"? We hear this all the time, but usually, this excludes emotional fuel or emotional nourishment.  

Meeting the needs of our body is not just about physical survival. We also need to meet the emotional needs ourselves as well. Eating can be part of a healthful, helpful toolbox of coping skills for you on your journey.

In today's episode, I'll share all about how emotional eating has such a negative connotation. You'll leave with some ideas for adding more coping tools, including putting eating back into your toolbox!
